Jiraiya was finally able to know Pain’s true identity. As he plans to tell everything to the head sage, blood runs out and he begins to lose consciousness because of the spikes attack from the five Pain. Then it flashes back to when he was younger. He sits before the Hokage Mountain at various stages of his life writing a book. He wanted to die just like the past Hokages, but he has this thought though that he was rejected by Tsunade many times; he couldn’t save his friend Orochimaru; he failed to protect his teacher and his student, and with that said, he considered himself as a failure. He believed that even though he failed in life, he could make up for that with some accomplishments. But he couldn’t even do that, he failed at stopping Pain and Akatsuki. Jiraiya states the Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya wasn’t worth anything. But a voice offers that isn’t true. We then cut to the Fourth Hokage’s home. Minato holds Jiraiya’s book and states it’s great. Since it’s based on Jiraiya’s adventures, it’s like an autobiography. An embarrassed Jiraiya offers that it didn’t sell and he should probably just focus on his erotic novels. Minato offers that he liked how the hero never gave up, just like his sensei. And he hopes his own child is like the title character, so would Jiraiya mind if he uses that name? Jiraiya is shocked and states he simply thought of the name while eating ramen… A pregnant Kushina offers that “Naruto” is a fine name. Jiraiya laughs feeling unworthy and asks if that means he’s the godfather. Minato states there’s no one better than such a skilled and unique shinobi. Jiraiya thinks over his time with Naruto and the young mans strength and dedication. He considers how Naruto was like that hero and how he lived up to his parents dreams. We then cut to the Sannin battle, atop a snake Jiraiya and Orochimaru battle. Orochimaru offers that the true measure of a shinobi’s life is based on how many jutsu they mastered. Jiraiya says no, a ninja is one who endures and has a strong spirit. He then considers Naruto, since he never went back on his word or gave up, neither will he as his master. Jiraiya regains consciousness and begins to stir; thinking that the pupil’s way should be the master’s too. The father toad is shocked at how Jiraiya willed himself back to life. Pain was surprised because he’s certain that Jiraiya’s heart did stop. Jiraiya looks to the father toad and the summon offers his understanding. The toad slips out of his robe to the ground before Jiraiya. Jiraiya activates chakra on his finger and begins to write on the toad’s back. The toad suddenly understands and Jiraiya considers that his true choice was whether to give up. He won’t. He realizes that Naruto was the child of prophecy and he now leaves everything to him.

We at ABS-CBN and its subsidiaries had our 2007 Christmas Party last night held just along the compound. Fr. Tito Caluag led the thanksgiving mass around 4 in the afternoon, and then the street party commence. The first half of the party was hosted by former Wowowee host Janel Jamer and stand-up comedian Martin. Pinoy Dream Academy’s (Star Academy/La Academia) Grand Star Dreamer Yeng Constantino and bands Calla Lily and Sponge Cola were among the performer that night. Then came Roxy Liquigan and host-columnist-actor Ogie Diaz doing their hosting stint for the other half of the party. I’ve been with ABS-CBN for almost four years now and I am always looking to Ogie Diaz being the master of the ceremony. He’s really good at what he’s doing; I am always amazed every time he throws his humorous punch lines plus his newly-discovered talent of imitating Gus Abelgus – a well-known investigative news host also from our mother station. Ogie and Roxy equates to riot, they are well accepted by the crowd and no dull moment.
The Magic. The ‘Real’ Magic.

I guess his performance with AOL Sessions didn’t stand out well. I am not comparing his performance with Maroon 5 and on other artists because it will be unfair, but I guess he wasn’t able to show off his “real talent”, the band was too loud, and I am expecting him to do some acoustic performance. I didn’t even notice that it was his AOL performance that’s currently playing. I hope that guys over Stripped Music invite Blake for some “raw and real” music.

Westlife are back with their ninth album dubbed as “Back Home”. The album features three covers: “Home” – a Michael buble cover, “Have You Ever” by Brandy and “I’m Already There” of Lonestar respectively, and nine original compositions. Among the three cover, “Have You Ever” has better recall on me than the other two, while “Us Againt The World” and “When I’m With You” stands out among the original compositions – they are my favorites. And because I love the song “When I’m With You”, I was able to memorize the song in just one day, believe me. Released last November 20th, the album is doing pretty well and debuts #1 on UK Album Charts and has reached 2x Platinum mark to-date. The carrier single “Home” – a Michael Buble cover on the other hand, debuted at #3 spot on UK Single Charts. The vocals are what make this album so pleasant. The interaction of the singers prevents this album from becoming stale and predictable; Mark’s rich, soulful voice is the mainstay of Westlife’s music- his growth as a singer is evident as he soars easily through climactic ballads and displays clever use of the falsetto and mastery of vibrato, while Shane’s soft and easy tone provides the contrast that makes this album so likeable. The lads have a solid and expanding niche and are comfortable doing what they do best singing ballads with earnest and passion that will have you feeling them as well. I was always impressed with their harmonies and the smooth sounds they created together and not one song on this album is a disappointment. “Back Home” is decisively mid-tempo and is a thoroughly consistent, back-to-the-roots pop album. Nicky Byrne confirmed on Westlife’s Official Site that their next single will be “Us Against The World” due on January 2008. The band will be having their “Back Home” concert tour slash 10th Year Celebration on the music industry early next year, then goes on a year-long hiatus. The group immediately ceased the humor that they are splitting up because they aren’t. Album up now here for download. Hit “http://hethler.blogspot.com” once the system prompts for password.

Captain Yamato split the group into two, making the newly-formed Team Kakashi a two-man cell. Sakura and Captain Yamato are in one team and that leaves Naruto and Sai paired together. Sakura said that since she and Naruto known each others ability much better, asked Yamato if they could be in a same team. Yamato on the other hand explained that Sakura is the only medical ninja and by that, they can’t afford to lose her. Yamato gathered all the information from Sasuka regarding the Akatsuki, since among them, she’s the one who really come face to face and battle with the Akatsuki. They had a simulation combat training on how to approach Orochimaru’s spy. As the training moves forward, Naruto and Sai continue to struggle with their own differences.

I was able to have Shayne Ward’s latest album a week after its release. It was just last week though when I got a chance to listen to it. As the music plays on my iTunes, I have no idea that the one singing was actually Shayne Ward. I really never thought it was him, that I mistakenly thought it was Daniel Bedingfield. The first track on the album entitled: “No U Hang Up” was a good start. Very nice lyrics and I must say bubbly track. Next track is the carrier single of the album “Breathless” – which after jumping from track 1 to 2 made me think if it’s Daniel Bedingfield that singing or just another rip-off singer. 10 tracks forward here comes a Justin Timberlake wannabe. “U Got Me So” has the same beat of Justin songs like Rock Your Body, Like I Love You and Love Stoned. On the other hand, I have his CD Lite Album “That’s My Goal” and comparing these two albums, his new album has improved. Its way better than the previous one, has mature songs, but then again I feel like the other tracks from his new album were there to fill-in some gaps. I hope that in his next album, I am expect him to really come out, show his singing prowess, and really go out of his shell because I really do believe that he has this talent that needs to be awakened. Nonetheless, I still love his new album. Album entitled: “Breathless” up now here for download. Hit “http://hethler.blogspot.com” once the system prompts for password.

Below are some helpful information/FAQs regarding dengue and typhoid fever.
Dengue
Q. What is dengue?
A. Dengue (pronounced den’ gee) is a disease caused by any one of four closely related viruses (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, or DEN-4). The viruses are transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito. In the Western Hemisphere, the Aedes aegypti mosquito is the most important transmitter or vector of dengue viruses, although a 2001 outbreak in Hawaii was transmitted by Aedes albopictus. It is estimated that there are over 100 million cases of dengue worldwide each year.
Q. What is dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)?
A. DHF is a more severe form of dengue. It can be fatal if unrecognized and not properly treated. DHF is caused by infection with the same viruses that cause dengue. With good medical management, mortality due to DHF can be less than 1%.
Q. How are dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) spread?
A. Dengue is transmitted to people by the bite of an Aedes mosquito that is infected with a dengue virus. The mosquito becomes infected with dengue virus when it bites a person who has dengue or DHF and after about a week can transmit the virus while biting a healthy person. Dengue cannot be spread directly from person to person.
Q. What are the symptoms of the disease?
A. The principal symptoms of dengue are high fever, severe headache, backache, joint pains, nausea and vomiting, eye pain, and rash. Generally, younger children have a milder illness than older children and adults.
Dengue hemorrhagic fever is characterized by a fever that lasts from 2 to 7 days, with general signs and symptoms that could occur with many other illnesses (e.g., nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and headache). This stage is followed by hemorrhagic manifestations, tendency to bruise easily or other types of skin hemorrhages, bleeding nose or gums, and possibly internal bleeding. The smallest blood vessels (capillaries) become excessively permeable (“leaky”), allowing the fluid component to escape from the blood vessels. This may lead to failure of the circulatory system and shock, followed by death, if circulatory failure is not corrected.
Q. What is the treatment for dengue?
A. There is no specific medication for treatment of a dengue infection. Persons who think they have dengue should use analgesics (pain relievers) with acetaminophen and avoid those containing aspirin. They should also rest, drink plenty of fluids, and consult a physician.
Q. Is there an effective treatment for dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)?
A. As with dengue, there is no specific medication for DHF. It can however be effectively treated by fluid replacement therapy if an early clinical diagnosis is made. Hospitalization is frequently required in order to adequately manage DHF. Physicians who suspect that a patient has DHF may want to consult the Dengue Branch at CDC, for more information.
Q. Where can outbreaks of dengue occur?
A. Outbreaks of dengue occur primarily in areas where Aedes aegypti (sometimes also Aedes albopictus) mosquitoes live. This includes most tropical urban areas of the world. Dengue viruses may be introduced into areas by travelers who become infected while visiting other areas of the tropics where dengue commonly exists.
In the America region, all dengue virus serotypes are now present. DEN-3 was reintroduced into Central America in 1994 and is now found in several countries in the region. Since this serotype has been absent from the Americas for almost 20 years, the population has a low level of immunity and the virus is expected to spread rapidly.
Q. What can be done to reduce the risk of acquiring dengue?
A. There is no vaccine for preventing dengue. The best preventive measure for residents living in areas infested with Aedes aegypti is to eliminate the places where the mosquito lays her eggs, primarily artificial containers that hold water.
Items that collect rainwater or are used to store water (for example, plastic containers, 55-gallon drums, buckets, or used automobile tires) should be covered or properly discarded. Pet and animal watering containers and vases with fresh flowers should be emptied and scoured at least once a week. This will eliminate the mosquito eggs and larvae and reduce the number of mosquitoes present in these areas.
For travelers to areas with dengue, a well as people living in areas with dengue, the risk of being bitten by mosquitoes indoors is reduced by utilization of air conditioning or windows and doors that are screened. Proper application of mosquito repellents containing 20% to 30% DEET as the active ingredient on exposed skin and clothing decreases the risk of being bitten by mosquitoes. The risk of dengue infection for international travelers appears to be small, unless an epidemic is in progress.
Q. How can we prevent epidemics of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)?
A. The emphasis for dengue prevention is on sustainable, community-based, integrated mosquito control, with limited reliance on insecticides (chemical larvicides and adulticides). Preventing epidemic disease requires a coordinated community effort to increase awareness about dengue/DHF, how to recognize it, and how to control the mosquito that transmits it. Residents are responsible for keeping their yards and patios free of sites where mosquitoes can be produced.
Typhoid Fever
Q. What is typhoid fever?
A. Typhoid fever is a life-threatening illness caused by the bacterium Salmonella Typhi. In the United States about 400 cases occur each year, and 75% of these are acquired while traveling internationally. Typhoid fever is still common in the developing world, where it affects about 21.5 million persons each year.
Typhoid fever can be prevented and can usually be treated with antibiotics. If you are planning to travel outside the United States, you should know about typhoid fever and what steps you can take to protect yourself.
Q. How is typhoid fever spread?
A. Salmonella Typhi lives only in humans. Persons with typhoid fever carry the bacteria in their bloodstream and intestinal tract. In addition, a small number of persons, called carriers , recover from typhoid fever but continue to carry the bacteria. Both ill persons and carriers shed S. Typhi in their feces (stool).
You can get typhoid fever if you eat food or drink beverages that have been handled by a person who is shedding S. Typhi or if sewage contaminated with S. Typhi bacteria gets into the water you use for drinking or washing food. Therefore, typhoid fever is more common in areas of the world where handwashing is less frequent and water is likely to be contaminated with sewage.
Once S. Typhi bacteria are eaten or drunk, they multiply and spread into the bloodstream. The body reacts with fever and other signs and symptoms.
Q. Where in the world do you get typhoid fever?
A. Typhoid fever is common in most parts of the world except in industrialized regions such as the United States, Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and Japan. Therefore, if you are traveling to the developing world, you should consider taking precautions. Over the past 10 years, travelers from the United States to Asia, Africa, and Latin America have been especially at risk.
Q. How can you avoid typhoid fever?
A. Two basic actions can protect you from typhoid fever:
1. Avoid risky foods and drinks.
2. Get vaccinated against typhoid fever.
It may surprise you, but watching what you eat and drink when you travel is as important as being vaccinated. This is because the vaccines are not completely effective. Avoiding risky foods will also help protect you from other illnesses, including travelers’ diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, and
hepatitis A.
Q. What are the signs and symptoms of typhoid fever?
A. Persons with typhoid fever usually have a sustained fever as high as 103° to 104° F (39° to 40° C). They may also feel weak, or have stomach pains, headache, or loss of appetite. In some cases, patients have a rash of flat, rose-colored spots. The only way to know for sure if an illness is typhoid fever is to have samples of stool or blood tested for the presence of S. Typhi .

A. Outbreaks of dengue occur primarily in areas where Aedes aegypti (sometimes also Aedes albopictus) mosquitoes live. This includes most tropical urban areas of the world. Dengue viruses may be introduced into areas by travelers who become infected while visiting other areas of the tropics where dengue commonly exists.
In the America region, all dengue virus serotypes are now present. DEN-3 was reintroduced into Central America in 1994 and is now found in several countries in the region. Since this serotype has been absent from the Americas for almost 20 years, the population has a low level of immunity and the virus is expected to spread rapidly.
Q. What can be done to reduce the risk of acquiring dengue?
A. There is no vaccine for preventing dengue. The best preventive measure for residents living in areas infested with Aedes aegypti is to eliminate the places where the mosquito lays her eggs, primarily artificial containers that hold water.
Items that collect rainwater or are used to store water (for example, plastic containers, 55-gallon drums, buckets, or used automobile tires) should be covered or properly discarded. Pet and animal watering containers and vases with fresh flowers should be emptied and scoured at least once a week. This will eliminate the mosquito eggs and larvae and reduce the number of mosquitoes present in these areas.
For travelers to areas with dengue, a well as people living in areas with dengue, the risk of being bitten by mosquitoes indoors is reduced by utilization of air conditioning or windows and doors that are screened. Proper application of mosquito repellents containing 20% to 30% DEET as the active ingredient on exposed skin and clothing decreases the risk of being bitten by mosquitoes. The risk of dengue infection for international travelers appears to be small, unless an epidemic is in progress.
Q. How can we prevent epidemics of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)?
A. The emphasis for dengue prevention is on sustainable, community-based, integrated mosquito control, with limited reliance on insecticides (chemical larvicides and adulticides). Preventing epidemic disease requires a coordinated community effort to increase awareness about dengue/DHF, how to recognize it, and how to control the mosquito that transmits it. Residents are responsible for keeping their yards and patios free of sites where mosquitoes can be produced.
Typhoid Fever
Q. What is typhoid fever?
A. Typhoid fever is a life-threatening illness caused by the bacterium Salmonella Typhi. In the United States about 400 cases occur each year, and 75% of these are acquired while traveling internationally. Typhoid fever is still common in the developing world, where it affects about 21.5 million persons each year.
Typhoid fever can be prevented and can usually be treated with antibiotics. If you are planning to travel outside the United States, you should know about typhoid fever and what steps you can take to protect yourself.
Q. How is typhoid fever spread?
A. Salmonella Typhi lives only in humans. Persons with typhoid fever carry the bacteria in their bloodstream and intestinal tract. In addition, a small number of persons, called carriers , recover from typhoid fever but continue to carry the bacteria. Both ill persons and carriers shed S. Typhi in their feces (stool).
You can get typhoid fever if you eat food or drink beverages that have been handled by a person who is shedding S. Typhi or if sewage contaminated with S. Typhi bacteria gets into the water you use for drinking or washing food. Therefore, typhoid fever is more common in areas of the world where handwashing is less frequent and water is likely to be contaminated with sewage.
Once S. Typhi bacteria are eaten or drunk, they multiply and spread into the bloodstream. The body reacts with fever and other signs and symptoms.
Q. Where in the world do you get typhoid fever?
A. Typhoid fever is common in most parts of the world except in industrialized regions such as the United States, Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and Japan. Therefore, if you are traveling to the developing world, you should consider taking precautions. Over the past 10 years, travelers from the United States to Asia, Africa, and Latin America have been especially at risk.
Q. How can you avoid typhoid fever?
A. Two basic actions can protect you from typhoid fever:
1. Avoid risky foods and drinks.
2. Get vaccinated against typhoid fever.
It may surprise you, but watching what you eat and drink when you travel is as important as being vaccinated. This is because the vaccines are not completely effective. Avoiding risky foods will also help protect you from other illnesses, including travelers’ diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, and
hepatitis A.
Q. What are the signs and symptoms of typhoid fever?
A. Persons with typhoid fever usually have a sustained fever as high as 103° to 104° F (39° to 40° C). They may also feel weak, or have stomach pains, headache, or loss of appetite. In some cases, patients have a rash of flat, rose-colored spots. The only way to know for sure if an illness is typhoid fever is to have samples of stool or blood tested for the presence of S. Typhi .

Below are some helpful information/FAQs regarding dengue and typhoid fever.Dengue
Q. What is dengue?
A. Dengue (pronounced den’ gee) is a disease caused by any one of four closely related viruses (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, or DEN-4). The viruses are transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito. In the Western Hemisphere, the Aedes aegypti mosquito is the most important transmitter or vector of dengue viruses, although a 2001 outbreak in Hawaii was transmitted by Aedes albopictus. It is estimated that there are over 100 million cases of dengue worldwide each year.
Q. What is dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)?
A. DHF is a more severe form of dengue. It can be fatal if unrecognized and not properly treated. DHF is caused by infection with the same viruses that cause dengue. With good medical management, mortality due to DHF can be less than 1%.
Q. How are dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) spread?
A. Dengue is transmitted to people by the bite of an Aedes mosquito that is infected with a dengue virus. The mosquito becomes infected with dengue virus when it bites a person who has dengue or DHF and after about a week can transmit the virus while biting a healthy person. Dengue cannot be spread directly from person to person.
Q. What are the symptoms of the disease?
A. The principal symptoms of dengue are high fever, severe headache, backache, joint pains, nausea and vomiting, eye pain, and rash. Generally, younger children have a milder illness than older children and adults.
Dengue hemorrhagic fever is characterized by a fever that lasts from 2 to 7 days, with general signs and symptoms that could occur with many other illnesses (e.g., nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and headache). This stage is followed by hemorrhagic manifestations, tendency to bruise easily or other types of skin hemorrhages, bleeding nose or gums, and possibly internal bleeding. The smallest blood vessels (capillaries) become excessively permeable (“leaky”), allowing the fluid component to escape from the blood vessels. This may lead to failure of the circulatory system and shock, followed by death, if circulatory failure is not corrected.
Q. What is the treatment for dengue?
A. There is no specific medication for treatment of a dengue infection. Persons who think they have dengue should use analgesics (pain relievers) with acetaminophen and avoid those containing aspirin. They should also rest, drink plenty of fluids, and consult a physician.
Q. Is there an effective treatment for dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)?
A. As with dengue, there is no specific medication for DHF. It can however be effectively treated by fluid replacement therapy if an early clinical diagnosis is made. Hospitalization is frequently required in order to adequately manage DHF. Physicians who suspect that a patient has DHF may want to consult the Dengue Branch at CDC, for more information.
Q. Where can outbreaks of dengue occur?
A. Outbreaks of dengue occur primarily in areas where Aedes aegypti (sometimes also Aedes albopictus) mosquitoes live. This includes most tropical urban areas of the world.

“The true form of God is the combined power of the 6 Rinnegans. The 6 ‘Paths of Pain’ have appeared“.Jiraiya was surprised that one of the six Pain appeared before him has Yahiko’s resemblance. Pain recognized the name Yahiko but insisted that he’s dead and the man standing before him is no less than Pain. Jiraiya demands for an answer while he explains to the toads that one of the six Pain is also his former student. The father toad asks Jiraiya if these means that there are two prophesized children, the latter said no. The first time he saw Pain with the Rinnegan, he was sure that it’s Nagato though there’s not much resemblance after he aged. But with the six Pain that appeared, one of them at least has Yahiko’s resemblance but Jiraiya was curious how come Yahiko possess the Rinnegan too. Jiraiya, then desperately asks if he is Nagato or Yahiko. The six pain charged themselves towards Jiraiya and announced that they are the “God”. Back in Konoha, Tsunade comments on the constant rain. Shizune told her not to worry because everything will be okay for Jiraiya. Tsunade disagreed, but she’ll bet on that because she always loses. Elsewhere, Karin announces an incredible chakra that is quickly approaching. The figure appears and Suigetsu recognizes the man – Hoshigaki Kisame. Kisame tells to Team Hebi that Itachi preferred if Sasuke continues alone and the rest including him wait there. Sasuke agreed and said that he only formed the group to make sure that no one would interfere when he finally find Itachi. Karin on the other hand freaks out and said that they could just eliminate Kisame and go fight Itachi together but Sasuke told Karin don’t even try, that the rest of Team Hebi remains there. Sasuke said it was his revenge, and then moves on. Suigetsu greets Kisame much to the latters’ surprise. Suigetsu asked Kisame if he has forgotten him and told him to have a little fun while they’re waiting for Sasuke’s return. Kisame agreed while Karin and Juugo got pissed off with Suigetsu. Itachi, sitting on the Uchiha clans’ hideout, asks Sasuke how much he can see with his Sharingan eye. Elsewhere, Tobi meets the nins from Konoha and offers that the numerical advantage is in their favor. Yamato recognizes his cloak and said he’s from the Akatsuki. Kakashi on the other hand, said that he’s not on the list of Akatsuki that Kabuto left behind. Tobi said that it’s because he’s newly recruit from the organization. Kakashi said to the team that they should be more careful, though they have the advantage. Tobi said that it’s not cool for not taking him seriously. Suddenly, another Naruto comes flying behind him with Rasengan and slams it to Tobi’s back, but the latter was able to dodge his attack. Back to the Uchiha’s hideout, we then see Sasuke and Itachi comes face to face, and Sasuke answered Itachi’s early question – that with the power he gained, he sees Itachi’s defeat. Naruto Manga Chapter 380 entitled: “That Face” up now for download here.

Last week, Naruto Shippuuden once again had their long-hour special, making last week episode a double-episode. Episode 036-037 entitled: “A Fake Smile” starts the journey of the newly-formed Team Kakashi as they head out for “Heaven and Earth Bridge” to meet an Akatsuki’s spy who knows whereabouts of Orochimaru. As the episode moves forward, we see how Naruto and Sai had their personal differences. Before the episode ends, they’ve shown this guy heading on the same way Team Kakashi is. Episode up now for download. The double episode were released as one file so I have to separate the two episode which also makes me easier to upload file since there’s always a limit for a file size. Download episode 036 here and 037 here.

“Pa-Siyam” or the “9-Day Novena” which is one of the tradition that I’ve grown up with, living in the province. “Pa-Siyam” is day where the family and relatives memorialize their loved ones which include a small feast, 9 days after their loved ones death. We celebrated my father’s “Pa-Siyam” last November 20. Yes it’s kinda awkward to celebrate, but most important thing is, its time to offer prayers for the departed soul. After the small feast, we headed to his graveyard, offered prayers, talk to him and bring some stuff like cigarette, his favorite choco drink, beer, food, candles and hotdog and banana which has been his favorite for the past few months before he left us. We also planted some plants beside his grave; my father by nature has a “green thumb” so that plant was to give him fresh air and somehow bring life to his grave. We had his remains lied on the newly opened Himlayang Mabini, just beside Mabini Cemetery which already aged for the passing of time. His grave was just few meters away from the cemetery’s church, and the place wasn’t creepy at all unlike others. My sister keeps on saying that she wouldn’t be afraid visiting him alone. The place was so peaceful, have round the clock caretakers roving, cleaning, and lighting the vicinity. His place was near the walkway and just beside the lighting post. We’re planning to transfer him in the coming years to a new lot which houses a mausoleum so the family could gather there once in a while.
After my father left us, I’ve decided that if I have enough time, I’ll come to Anilao where my mother stays. Normally, my weekly routine was Monday – from Lipa City, I left for Quezon City for work, and Friday – left Quezon City and heads to Lipa City; that was my routine for almost 4 years that I live here in the metro. Now, it changed. I still leave Lipa City at Monday and Quezon City at Friday respectively, but now I’ll be spending my weekends at Anilao. Anilao is about 1000 plus kilometers away from Lipa City so its really a long trip but that’s okay, everything for my mother, for her to feel that we are just around and not leaving her behind, that we are family. As I’ve said on my previous post, most of my siblings got their respective family; some are here while some are in abroad. I’m the 10th in the family, youngest among the boys, when my father’s still around; it was just my parents and sometimes my sister-in-law that stays in the house. But now that my father’s gone, my cousins and Auntie accompany my mother in the house [… then I join them on weekends] to lessen the depression and as much as possible help her move on doing some recreation activities and house chores. My elder brother from Israel which came home months ago for our dear father left already for Israel last November 29 to catch up with his work. This saddened my mother and once again, made her really emotional. Moreover, she’s sad because soon, it will be my sister – the eldest in the family, and my Auntie that will leave for Pangasinan after “40 Days” commemoration of my father’s death. I’m thankful to my cousins and relatives that for the mean time taking care and assisting my mother way back home. Hopefully, if we got the early vacation, the whole family will stay there from December 20 until New Year.
